Overcoming the WaniKani wall

[alo]

@notjustine

Has anyone else encountered the dreaded WK wall? If you managed to make it out to the other side, what was the process like for you?

Hey the same thing happened to me. I documented it here:

Finally hit that wall

I’ve been hearing people talk about a wall that they hit in their first year where they fall by the wayside and it gets hard to get back on track and I finally know what they’re talking about. [image] I missed a few days back in September during a business trip and things pretty much snowballed from there. So this month I decided to do something about it with my upcoming Christmas leave. Here’s what I did and hopefully it will help someone in the same situation. Stop doing lessons. I did…

Same as you, around the 6-8 month mark was when my regular life started to rubber band back in and I put off WK until it snowballed into a mountain of reviews.

@notjustine

I look forward to continuing my journey to level 60, and I’m hoping that I’m able to bounce back if I ever encounter that wall again (knowing that I’ve already overcome it once before).

I made it to 60. You can too.

And, honestly, I learned so much from going through the process. I think one of the most important lessons was that I didn’t want to do it again, so if I hit a day where I didn’t want to do reviews, I’d always remember that it’s way easier to do the 20m review right now than to claw my way back out of a hole again.
